They called me for a second interview last Thursday, and the HR person told me she was pretty sure they were going to give me an offer the next day (Friday). I called home Friday noon to see if there was any news, and my DH said, yes, they left a phone message that an offer would be in my e-mail. So I didn't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings by giving my notice, because they laid me off first! I got home at 4:00, talked it over with DH, and called them back to accept. Better pay, better benefits, shorter drive!
Thanks for all your good wishes!
